You'd think that one of these days I'd actually take updating this page seriously...

Some updates!
1. I'm in my 3rd to last semester of college (yay!)

2. CHECK THIS OUT!!!

                -boom- www.RAWartists.org/sammylynnart -boom-

That's right, an artists showcase here in Dallas, TX!!!
I'm posting this here later than I probably should have, but better late than never!
So I'm /somewhat/ active on Instagram and Facebook and decided to do an art dump (during class) on Instagram of a digital painting I did (it's not on dA... sorry) and a couple images of an image I had done in my relief printing class.  Later that day I received an email saying that I had been scouted for this indie artist showcase in Dallas.  I was super pumped for it and I easily got into the show.  If you want super details (and some more art) go ahead and click the link above.
Basics:
    -April 5th
    -$22 a ticket - sales end March 29th (buying a ticket does not create a blood oath that you will attend, rather you will sponsor me being able to go [I'm at 10 out of 20 sold])
    -I'm hoping to bring some works for sale but most of all, hand out cards for commission sign ups!
I'm really pumped for this and if anybody in the area is interested, I'd love to meet you there!

3. ... . . . not much else... still my same generic job...

Anywho, I'm starting to get really invested in digital painting like I did way back in high school so I hope to share more with y'all soon!

Thank you for reading!!!

Yup... It's been a while.

And I did absolutely nothing on here...

Slight update!  School has been kicking my ass as always but the pressure is on next semester.  I'm supposedly supposed to have chosen my "style" and "series" of works that appeal to me to continue working on.  I just posted my first Digital Painting in a few years and plan to keep adding more.  I also would really like to get photos taken (or figure out how to take them myself) of my oil paintings and ceramics, maybe.  Definitely the paintings.  A birdie has told me that the photography students in my college will take professional level photos of them but I've yet to find anything.

Since the Black Rhino rekindled my interest in Digital Painting, expect to see a lot more of me here soon.

I'd also like to mention that when this semester ends, I'll be doing LIMITED commissions.  I'll be releasing that information on my Facebook Page and here (with more options possibly being opened up here).

Now I would like to say, and mean it, that I'm excited to be back and ready to improve upon my digital skills!!!

Thanks for reading!!!

I would like to do a quick bit of an introduction as I feel it is necessary.

1. Are you completely new to DeviantArt?
    No.  When I was in High School, I got my very first DeviantArt account.  If you plan on blackmailing me later in life, it was SilverNiteWolf.

2. Why did you leave the old account?
    Senior year came a long and I became very busy.  A few months in and I finally remembered to log back in but I had so many notifications, I decided to leave.  I have thought about returning but haven't had the time.

3. What will you be doing here?
    My ultimate plan for this is to keep it semi-professional and, hopefully, pick up jobs for extra money.  You're talking you a starving college artist/student. ;D

4. What are you college plans like?
    As of right now I am on my last semester at a Butler Community College and will graduate with a Bachelor's in Visual Arts.  Trust me, I never wanted to attend a JuCo, but life happens.

5. What are you doing after JuCo?
    I will be moving to Texas in May of 2016 to attend the University of Texas at Dallas.  This is where I have been trying to go for a couple of years but making arrangements for living have been the issue.  I'm more than excited to continue my college career down there!  GO COMETS!!!!

6. What do you want to do for a career?
    The ultimate goal is to become a concept artist for either movies or video games.  Right now, I'm not picky. I used to concept characters alllll the time when I was younger, and I still love to every now and then.

7. What type of art do you do now?
    Because of school, it has mainly been traditional artworks (charcoal/pencil drawings and paintings).   On my free time, I still like to get in photoshop and doodle about.  I have just started playing in PaintTool SAI and actually just got ZBrush as well!  I have also been trying my hand in photography.  I just recently bought a Nikon D3300!  It is AMAZING!!!

8. Tell us some more about yourself.
    Currently I'm 20 and living at home (don't let people tell you that's a bad thing, IT'S FREE!).  I've been in a wonderful relationship with my boyfriend for approximately a year and a half by now.  He will actually be moving with me to Dallas where we will get an apartment together.  We actually make phone games/video games together.  If we ever make something that, to him, is worthwhile, I will most definitely tell ya'll about it!  We've tried a couple of Game Jams but the categories are never in our favor, so we drop out.  I used to be a lifeguard for about four years when my drawing instructor presented me with an internship opportunity.  I have been a Graphic Design intern since September 2015 (it is now March 2016).  I'm an animal lover!  My family has 1 dog and 2 cats (1 specifically mine).  I owned a horse for a few months but, being a college student, I quickly ran out of money and had to sell her.  Horses are the best pets in my opinion... It actually might be a tie between them and dogs...  My favorite animal is the beautiful wolf!  So majestic!  I also love the color blue (hence the avatar)

I really hope to keep this up to date because I have heard very good things about working through here.

Ask me what you want and I may answer them

For now, thank you for stopping by and I hope to entertain you guys later with art!

I do have social medias as well:

I do apologize since neither my Tymblr nor my website have anything on them.  They are a work in progress.

Thanks!!!
